Palworld Server Engine Settings
How to change the Palworld Engine Settings (Engine.ini file) using Docker Environment variables.
With Environment Variables
warning
These environment variables and settings are subject to change since the game is still in beta.
info
To use these settings you must set DISABLE_GENERATE_ENGINE to false.
Converting engine settings to environment variables follow the same principles (with some exceptions):
- All capital letters
- Split words by inserting an underscore
- Remove the single letter if the setting starts with one (like 'b')
For example:
- LanServerMaxTickRate -> LAN_SERVER_MAX_TICK_RATE
- bUseFixedFrameRate -> USE_FIXED_FRAME_RATE
- NetClientTicksPerSecond -> NET_CLIENT_TICKS_PER_SECOND
| Variable | Description | Default Value | Allowed Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| DISABLE_GENERATE_ENGINE | Disable the generation of the Engine.ini | true | Boolean |
| LAN_SERVER_MAX_TICK_RATE | Sets maximum ticks per second for LAN servers, higher rates result in smoother gameplay. | 120 | Integer |
| NET_SERVER_MAX_TICK_RATE | Sets maximum ticks per second for Internet servers, similarly ensuring smoother online gameplay. | 120 | Integer |
| CONFIGURED_INTERNET_SPEED | Sets the assumed player internet speed in bytes per second. High value reduces chances of bandwidth throttling. | 104857600 | Integer (in bytes) |
| CONFIGURED_LAN_SPEED | Sets the LAN speed, ensuring LAN players can utilize maximum network capacity. | 104857600 | Integer (in bytes) |
| MAX_CLIENT_RATE | Maximum data transfer rate per client for all connections, set to a high value to prevent data capping. | 104857600 | Integer (in bytes) |
| MAX_INTERNET_CLIENT_RATE | Specifically targets internet clients, allowing for high-volume data transfer without restrictions. | 104857600 | Integer (in bytes) |
| SMOOTH_FRAME_RATE | Enables the game engine to smooth out frame rate fluctuations for a more consistent visual experience. | true | Boolean |
| SMOOTH_FRAME_RATE_UPPER_LIMIT | Sets a max target frame rate range for smoothing. | 120.000000 | Float |
| SMOOTH_FRAME_RATE_LOWER_LIMIT | Sets a min target frame rate range for smoothing. | 30.000000 | Float |
| USE_FIXED_FRAME_RATE | Enables the use of a fixed frame rate | false | Boolean |
| FIXED_FRAME_RATE | Fixed frame rate | 120.000000 | Float |
| MIN_DESIRED_FRAME_RATE | Specifies a minimum acceptable frame rate, ensuring the game runs smoothly at least at this frame rate. | 60.000000 | Float |
| NET_CLIENT_TICKS_PER_SECOND | Increases the update frequency for clients, enhancing responsiveness and reducing lag. | 120 | Integer |
tip
While setting the server tickrate above to 120 fps will make some gameplay aspect smoother, it won't fix rubber-banding and will tax your hardware significantly more.
